Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in mitral annular motion after surgery in patients with aortic stenosis.
Methods
Patients receiving Edwards (Edwards) valves were included in the study. Echocardiographic findings were compared among the three treatments postoperatively, at discharge, and at 1 year after the surgery. Mitral annular motion was evaluated by e prime,...
Purpose The effective orifice area index (EOAI) is used to define the prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) after aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, few studies have so far evaluated whether the cutoff value for PPM varies across prostheses. This study assessed the hemodynamics in patients given a mechanical valve and then re-evaluated the validity of the commonly accepted threshold. Methods The...
